- Toto - Live at Montreux 1991
Live at the Montreux Casino, Switzerland July 5th 1991.
By the time Toto was invited to play the famed Montreux Jazz Festival in 1991, their success had already been assured. Having established themselves in the ‘70s as an elite band of session players-turned-chart toppers, they were in the midst of a European tour when the call came. It was an appropriate fit. Not only were they able to spotlight their two most prominent hits of the time -- “Africa” and “Rosanna” -- but they were also allowed to express a more progressive posture that would come with their next album, 1992’s Kingdom of Desire. In short, the band were in peak prowess.
Sadly, this marked one of their final appearances with drummer Jeff Porcaro, who passed away the following year. But as Live at Montreux 1991 demonstrates, the core band - Pocaro, his brother Mike on bass and mainstays, singer/guitarist Steve Lukather and keyboard player keyboardist/vocalist David Paich were in prime form.

The fact that Jeff Porcaro is playing that shuffle beat no problem with a cigarette in his mouth is another reason why he’s a drumming legend
Yeah, if the Roundup hadn’t have gotten him, the cigs were close behind. Either way, he wasn’t long for that world.
We have to keep in mind that he in 1991 had like 15 or 20 years of playing already
He liked blow, and when you like blow, that cigarette is a must. He would have played worse without the cigarette!
There is no credible source for the Roundup cause of death, unfortunately. Great drummer anyway.
Truly.
A couple of years earlier Toto came to my hometown Lund in Sweden. I sat at the bar at Grand Hotel when Steve came in and ordered a drink just beside me. We came to talk and I mentioned that my band was going to rehearse the same evening. They asked me if it was close and I suggested it was so Steve, Jeff and a bunch of journalists decided to join! We walked there - one kilometers in the snow :D I got to talk a lot with Jeff on the way - he was so down to earth. Finally when we came to the studio I told the guys to sharpen up because Toto was to attend the rehearsal - the band didnt believe me - but then the guys from Toto entered the room one by one - it was magical. We played some of my songs for them - Jeff played the tambourine - like in a dream. Then Steve sat behind the drums and Jeff took the guitar and we jammed on Rosanna (I played the keyboard). The next day our drummer got a bag of drumsticks from Jeff and we hang out all the weekend. We attended on stage at their soundcheck and had the time of our lives.
Man... Jeff playing the groove of Rosanna smoking cigarettes
Feels like so easy!
You can feel the energy of this show when watching it.
Props to Sony for shipping out their ludicrously expensive prototype HDVS cameras and recorders to capture this in HD video and digital audio all the way back in 1991! Really cool bit of technology history here too, in addition to the amazing performance.
That blended voices are freaking awesome
Mike was such a groove master. He truly felt every note he played. I as a drummer know one thing for sure. To have a bassist like Mike is the things dreams are made of. Jeff and Mike were simply MAGIC together on stage. Thankfully we have recordings to relive these special events
We all know about Jeff and love him, but let’s talk about Mike. He is just slaying it here. My God, what astonishingly great feel he had. And him and Jeff together was tighter than a tube top on Dolly Parton.
They were brothers. What else do you expect? Phenomenonal brotherly intuition. R.I.P Mike, Jeff and Joe (their dad) Porcaro
Let's write the easy way. I guess there is no son of the also famous Joe Porcaro that wasn't a Genius on his Instrument!
@@jackdixon29jd I've played with brothers in the same band before. Not all of them can lock. Lol.
@@coersy1983 Yes!
@@patton303 Yeah, look what happened to Alex and Eddie Van Halen. It was a catastrophe. Wait, no it wasn't! Nevermind.
Nothing kills the feel of a half-time shuffle like people clapping to quarter notes . RIP Jeff .
😂I think that every time..
At least the empty handed singers didn't all start rattling tambourines.
Lamo!!, I was thinking the same thing.
It drowns the ghost notes.
He did not realize how little time he has.....
I know, exactly, here's this masterful groove being executed and you can't really hear it
Steve Lukather is on the Mount Rushmore of Guitarists.
Who else watched this video to see how Jeff played the shuffle?
you got me :)
Not me...there's tutorials for that
@@bls8959 dude, I've seen tons of tutorials and they all admit that it's not exactly what Jeff played. But if you're ok with those tutorials, good for you then.
@@twophilrock I'm talking about the tutorials Jeff did himself...no need to be a sensitive prick
Jeff made tutorials
It is great to see Porcaro Brothers in stage. Very special.
mur46 *on stage.
It’s almost a bit haunting
Actually there are 2 out of the 3 brothers here. Steve Porcaro was inactive with Toto during the late 80´s - early 90´s.
Agree.👆💕
One of the greatest drummers ever playing one of the greatest shuffles ever and he got about 10 seconds of camera. The only shortcoming in this video. RIP Jeff and Mike.
Tim Allbritton I totally agree! You read my mind.
The video editing predictably sucked, the drum cam angle has Jeff Porcaro's face behind a cymbal, Luke's playing a lead and the shot is on the keys comping, following the black girl all around as she clown dances, generally can't hold one angle longer than .2 seconds, typical music video.
Yeah, but you can hear it all the way, Rosanna.
Agree..... someone should re-edit this great prefomance @ Montreux.... 🎬✂
Who else can’t believe this is from 1991??? Seems yesterday. Fantastico!!!
The recording looks very modern. It must have been remastered.
Unbelivable that Jeff died one year later...
Still sounds progressive and modern, tho in today's music calling it modern is an insult to this performance. These were the days when popular music still had some skilled musicians playing musical instruments and actually singing.
Yes it is, one of the greatest
こんな凄いリズム隊は、二度と出てこない。最高。
Love Jeff Porcaro on drums, and those vocals by the guy in in the choire is absolutely fantastic
This is awesome
Yea the singer is killing it!
that singer toured with Phil Collins also. He is amazing!
Fred White
Damn true!!! ❤✨
The quality of this is insane. It's as if you're watching a reenactment recorded this year
Recorded with Sony's analogue HD-video equipment, which cost a fortune back in the day. But great indeed that it was used.
The best cast, Jeff the groovemaster, Mike the basshero, Steve the guitargod and David the keyboardduke. I love this version.
Those high vocals are spot-on, whoever that dude is.
I think I saw him backing for Phil Collins as well, so yeah…
That dude is two women.
One of the best takes - if not the best! Holy Smoke!
This is probably the 100th version of Roseanna I have seen hands down #1 just wow !
4:44 magic moment. Two real brothers ❤️
Look at how much these guys loved each other. Somebody is always reacting when somebody plays a cool lick and they just keep piling on the chops. RIP Jeff and Mike.
Jeff and Mike... what a groove section ! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
God I wish it existed a drum cam for this. What an exceptional drummer, H-O-L-Y COW
I'm amazed at how high fidelity the recording is for 1991 and now on YT!
its likely remastered
We led the way back then ,us old farts and don't you forget it , young man , take care ,,old Git
I hate to be that guy but here goes, actually back in 91' almost everything was recorded on Reel to Reel tape still which is about as "high fidelity" or high quality as it gets so yeah...
HD video was already around in the late 80s, although not on a consumer level; looks amazing indeed !
The backing vocals are so dynamic and really extend this recording.. best version I can recall..
So much freaking talent on that stage!! One of my all time favorite bands. They make it look effortless. RIP Jeff.
When music was still a "craft". Toto - a legend! THANK YOU
Maybe even art
The ultimate groove from the mighty JP and I'll never tire of that Luke guitar solo, short but oh so sweet.
Jeff + Porcaro = Badass
Jeff's been gone for nearly thirty years yet his skill as a drummer has never been equalled, much less
surpassed. What an amazing talent he was...
A bit over stated my friend, you need to explore more, plenty of great drummers can do exactly what Jeff could do, some better, but the key is to be the writer of great music and parts of music and Jeff was all about that but to say no one else can do that is factually very wrong.
@@Billfish57 If you play drums, then start listening and studying the greats, and you'll realize there's many who can do what the next can perform. Tho it's rather square boxed to say some better than the next, better at what ? Certainly writing songs as you mention is talent, but using that as your main parameter would deem the likes of Don Henley as one of the greatest all time😂 99% of what you'll ever hear a drummer do is locked into a song and most times limited to how progressive the band/bassist are. It doesn't necessarily deem that drummer incapable of sitting down and nailing a complex rythm in a song or a solo like the next drummer who's "better" than him in your pov.
@@Billfish57 technically sure, but no 2 drummers are the same every drummer has a different feel. Just like no 2 people are the same. Nobody can play Rosanna EXACTLY like Jeff
@@dosdrummer shuffles really separate drummers you can hear their personalities pop out then. No one out grooves Jeff though
@@deadshot4245 yeah he was definitely the groove master.
Mike Porcaro really feels the songs.
You'd be hard pressed to find a stage with more brilliant musicians on it than this one.
I grew up as a musician in LA at the time Toto formed. At the time I played mainly keyboards, but for some reason I knew quite a few drummers, including Jeff, Hal Blaine, and Buddy Rich. It irritates me that I didn't get into guitar until later.
Anyway, I can tell you one thing. In the late 1970s, if you asked anyone, any band, which band was composed of the best musicians, the answer was always Toto. There was no question about this. First of all, if you don't know about session musicians, they are the very best at their craft. Their business is working as "hired guns" to step in and knock out a hit tune in a matter of minutes to an hour. Thousands of hit songs that you all know and love were knocked out in short order by people like this. Their skill is mind-boggling, even to a skilled musician. These are people like Hal Blaine, Jeff Porcaro, Leon Russell, Joe Pass, Glen Campbell, Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown, and more. They are people that leave a classically trained person like me agape with their knowledge of music. When I'm around people like that, I feel like I don't know anything.
Toto is composed of lifelong session musicians, the children of session musicians (!) -- guys who were working as session musicians while they were still in high school, who said, hey, let's form a band. Holy shit.
Whether you like the songs or not, you can't escape the excellence of the musicianship. These guys were the best of the best, who decided to form a band and create some music of their own. The result is breathtaking. The only other band that was in this league is Steely Dan, which was two excellent musicians who skillfully tapped the pool of Hollywood session musicians to fill out the rest of the band for each of their tunes.
Let your ears decide.
I agree with everything you said. Toto have a certain feel to them. Kingdom of desire is a simple song but i don't know why i love it too much. And so is ANNA. Steve lukather's common theme in his ballads of being in love with someone but that someone isn't with him. I'll be over you. The other end of time. Only you. Last love.... Im grateful for them for being an inspiration
Fascinating
Your name is Phillip Landmeier from LA? Cool. I'm a ambitious hobby drummer from Germany, born in 1980 and only heard of Jeff Porcaro by other drummers I was and being inspired by. You are damn right. And I found that: ua-cam.com/video/dQ6tzbKsKKk/v-deo.html and it's basically that, what took me 24 years of hobby drumming to learn about!!!
@@eDrumsInANutshell A lot of great musicians are happy to help you, show you the tricks. There's plenty of room for more talent.
One of my failings is that I like to do things alone. But in music, you'll learn much faster if you socialize and play with other musicians. Get into a band, start a band, you'll be shocked at how fast you improve when you play with others.
@@PhillipLandmeier I am, I am, dude..... Making music alone is ... possible. But, yeah, you are right, again. That what I am telling ALL young musicians... Make music TOGETHER... AT LEAST: Hear a lot of music, play to songs. Improvise ... AND: Pay attention to what else is happening in that song. Support the song... Use a click. I am not a Neil, not a Jeff, but you can place me behind the drums and say: Play to that Song, that might by metal, rock, pop, funk ... And for the home use, every day listeners its ok.

It's pretty old, but - you know - job, kids, house ... etc.
I miss the Porcaro Brothers...So awesome!
Jeff's drum sound killer + fantastic drumming!
With a smoke danglin’ too... RIP JP. My man could shuffle
True dat!
Man, that groove on the outro...F@#KING INTENSE!!!
Agreed!
I was six when this and Africa were in the radio, and I was always happy when they were played!
Three and a half years later I'd pick up the drum sticks. It wasn't until another four year passed that I'd attempt to play this song. I had NO idea what he was doing with those ghost notes!
I'll be over you was on the radio a lot the year I got my first drum set. I remember thinking Jeff was one of the "coolest" people on the planet. At the end of the music video he used his cymbal as an umbrella.... I'll love his playing for the rest of my life. I ow so much of whatever "success" I've managed to achieve to him and Matt Kelly (Ghandee Dancer) from Detroit.
Better than the studio recording. Must have been an experience to be there
Amen to that!
Better than studio? Not quite.
@@rubicon-oh9km ssshhhh keep quiet
In the studio there’s no hype from the audience which makes the little hairs in the back of head to rise. Thats why!
It looked like Luke wasn't ready yet to start the song and got surprised when Jeff started the drum intro.
But Luke knew exactly what to do next.
Brividi e lacrime. I migliori al mondo. RIP Jeff and Mike
Severely underrated super-group, creating MUSIC in real time in front of you, during times when it was written, arranged and performed by talented humans for other humans to enjoy. It had soul, it had warmth, it showed highest levels of musicianship. Compare that to the current computers and drum machines generated, cold, autotuned, heavily overproduced crap.
I once heard that TOTO was music FOR musicians. We are the only ones that really appreciate the little details
I've been saying exactly what you stated for years, and now it's to the point when the opportunity comes up in a public setting, I say it louder than ever.
So Fred White on vocals doing this gig more or less back-to-back with the Serious Tour with Phil Collins. Decent ;)
This is so good that it brought tears to my eyes.😢 There is nothing like this anymore.
Timeless quality in every aspect! ❤
Damn, they crushed this! So much great energy, great tones all around. Those Porcaro Bros. are SUCH a tight foundation - god I love this shuffle groove so much. Luke of course nailed the solo, sounds better than the album!
RIP Jeff and Mike.
No doubt this is the best performance i’ve ever seen!!
Jeff Porcaro forever!! The number one!
Jeff Pacarro the best drummer ever that walks this planet. Your legacy will live on
Porcaro Brothers were so freaking maniacs
Toto band, far beyond their time, the Porcaro brothers, the best and biggest today and always, 🎸🎹🥁🎶🎼🎼👏👏👏👏👊👊👊👊👊🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Damn. How I miss Jeff Porcaro. He was one of a kind.
Smokin’ groove. Fantastic performance. They really look as if they’re having a ball.
A legendary performance .. RIP Jeff & Mike.. almost 30 years to this performance .. never gets old..
Porcaro was the groove master I saw them on their first tour I don't think he will ever be replaced I miss him
Love the high vibing background singers in the foreground.
Wow! What a performance! I was searching Dune videos. How'd I end up here?? So glad I did!
wow the quality of the video.. it's like they just experience a time travel, but with the Porcaro brothers Toto never been any better than these
Jeff is the groove master!
What a band!!! One of my favorite bands. True musicians!
Jeff and Mike !!
Perfect tune. Can't be criticised or improved upon.
No question on Jeff... dig Mike's Bass lines!
Fantastic 👏👏👏👏👏👏 I think the crowd needs to be applauded also ... it sounded really good when the crowd would sing on the chorus... 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 and the backup singers came down and started dancing... man that was awesome. Toto... great Band! 👍👍😎
The video quality is like taken in 2020. Props to the production team
Kris Caberte Good lighting, top quality film and a $100,000 camera gave good results back then. We can now come close to those high quality results or even surpass them on a smartphone camera.
@@Assimilator702 do you know what camera model they used back then? me and some colleques from university are quite interested to find out, how exactly they archieved this video quality in 1991. still looks better than some regional TV stations here in Germany today. :D
Luca Krautkrämer The Major film company brands back then were Arri and Panavision which made the Arriflex and Panaflex cameras respectively. In the early 90’s cameras were often 10 to 15 years old . One thing to note that with film cameras, most research and development was focused on the photo chemical FILM STOCK, the lenses .....which are a VERY important part in film cameras .......and post production techniques. The camera BODY is a very precision and robust machine who’s only job is to pass the film through the gate smoothly and quietly and back into the magazine. So more attention would be paid towards acquiring different lenses and of course using the best film stock for the project. 35 mm was the most commonly used for movies but 16 mm cameras can produce a VERY high quality images. For example The Walking Dead is shot on 16 mm film.
The camera used in this concert film could have been the newest model from Arri or Panaflex.....but its quite possible it was from the 80’s or even mid 70’s. If it was a large production company it’s likely the camera was state of the art at the time while most film companies used older cameras due to the prohibitively high prices.
My suggestion is to find out the market prices for some Arri and Panaflex camera bodies in 35 mm and 16 mm formats, find some lenses and decide on a high quality film stock which is still being manufactured. Decide what your budget is to narrow your search.
Alternatively DIGITAL camera bodies become obsolete quickly which is why a film camera body maintained in perfect condition with a selection of lenses can produce stunning images while never becoming “obsolete”.
@@Assimilator702 thank you! :)
Luca Krautkrämer No problem. My favorite part of any film is the ending credits and waiting to see if an Arri or Panaflex camera was used.
So many couldn't live without this video... keep on going Luke!
Damn I love this band I wish I could have gone to this concert
In State College Pa in a month
This is so crystal clear, its creepy
Jeff Porcaro wooooow
My favorite drummer and band.. So versatile.
For some reason it took me until 20 minutes ago to find that Jeff Porcaro played drums on Pink Floyd's Mother. And wow, he's awesome, I'd stepped right over Toto back in the day.
Lee Ritenour on guitar also !
Awesome rendition! The boys were on it that night. Thank you kindly for sharing
The best live performance of Rosanna
Waiting for my book on Jeff Porcaro by drummer magazine writer Robyn Flans to arrive in the mail from Hudson Music. It’s been sent. I can hardly wait to read!!
Audrey Dakin Didn’t know about that book. I’ll have to check that out. Thanks!
Joe Rico hudsonmusic.com/product/its-about-time-jeff-porcaro-the-man-and-his-music/
This is where music peaked.
Thanks for the beats, Jeff.
The energy of this performance is HUGE!
Always fantastic live the dynamics excellent beautiful backing vocals/vocals tight rhythm
Excellent, what an incredibly talented band. Jeff on drums is always on point and an incredible talent. The back up vocals are outstanding. Hell everyone in the band is incredibly talented.
Looks like a machine time, great. Thanks!!! They are the best RIP Porcaro Brothers!
I LOVE TOTO!....WONDERFUL.....
Jenny Douglas: vocals. I love the way she dances to that great live version of Rosanna. Hold the line (same show) was even better; she was singing almost the whole song
Good job 🌿💫🤞
Wow... the best nostalgia. Good feeling and awesome Energy
I have this DVD. Amazing!
Legends!
What a extreme high quality video. Thank you to the technicians of that day!! Makes it even harder to imagine that both porcaro brother are not alive anymore :(
Incredible footage, sounds unbelievable!!
Pure Music Maestro...
Love this format👍❤
On fire!
Great performance by Toto as always. Super good video quality for 1991
JEFF.....The master...
Perfectly performed
After watching him I purchased a pearl cage system for my drumset when they became available on the market
Wow! Really tight playin'.
Feel your head moving, hips swinging, that's the Porcaro effect. Can't teach that.
still great ,..to hear and to look at them!!
Gracias Dios por haberlos parido!🖤❤🔥
Damn, fellas rocked it
